President Obama announced today that he plans to nominate John Morton — a longtime Justice Department official and current acting deputy assistant attorney general of the criminal division — to be assistant secretary of homeland security for immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). Esther Olavarria, a Senior Fellow and Director of Immigration Policy at the Center for American Progress, is his pick for deputy assistant secretary of homeland security for policy.

Olavarria, in particular, signals a major change for DHS.

Not only does she come from the progressive CAP, but she spent almost ten years as counsel to Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Refugees — where she worked on immigration proposals that included comprehensive immigration reform. Olavarria started her career as an immigrants’ advocate when she was a managing attorney of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center; directing attorney of the American Immigration Lawyers Association Pro Bono Project; and staff attorney at the Haitian Refugee Center in Miami.

It is only a matter of weeks before we start hearing about Mexican refugees and how they need amnesty. The spinners are spinning even as I type.

Turning over America to the non-American anti-Americans, one agency at a time.

Don't worry. As George Smiley once said of Karla, his chief opponent, when asked how he would be defeated: "he lacks moderation".

These ranting Latin Third Worlders will go way farther then anyone would believe - it's part of the culture. Remember the demonstrations in May 07?

So let them call for mass invasion while Mexico is dissolving into narco-criminal warfare. The backlash will be immense.

The real question is whether the limp-wristed, effete "Republican" leadership will take advantage of that.

The question, of course, answers itself.
